HIGHER TAXES AND DEEPER CUTS Updated 12 Feb., 2018

NO AUSTERITY HERE!!!

Update 12 Feb., 2018 -- DWP sending out letter telling Pension Credit included into State Pension and at the same time showing the State pension less by £20 - in other words Pension Credit has gone. It is Universal Credit start on the quiet in April, 2018. Plus ruining/selling off our NHS people paid for all their lives and those fatcats creaming off. 

Update 7 Nov., 2017 --
This is a most shameful record when people die of starvation and/or cold. Especially during the last two years when benefit payments were withheld because the claimant missed appointment due to no fault of their own or was signed off to work even they were terminal ill.

Updated 22 April, 2017 --
All these plans have been shelved (not cancelled make no mistake) since PM May announced a surprised election for 8 June, 2017. If they win they will be back with twice the vengeance being full of glory.

PM May's Equal Society!!!!!

Higher taxes and deeper cuts has been planned since the austerity will last well into 2020s. This was forecast by experts of the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

Hopes that austerity and the governmental squeeze would soon end were dashed. Surprise, surprise, the reason is that the Chancellor may (will) not be able to reduce the highest deficit since 67 years.

At least, since the high deficit is being blamed and lately the Brexit it will not be Labour this time who is the whipping boy. The Tories always blame somebody or something else.

The fact is, that PM May and her new Chancellor, Philip Hammond, are none the better than David Cameron and George Osborne.  There is always millions and billions of pounds available with their projects and they spend it like water, never mind the high deficit.

£100billion for Trident

£40billion for HS2 and it will be twice as much at the end

Each bombing mission of Syria costs £500,000

£100million given to Turkey for them to build fighter planes

Serco and G4S earned £700million and both contractors are

not up to the standard.

Concentrix, another contractor dealing with tax avoidance, was crushing out and David Cameron tribled their fees and let them carry on until even the HMRC put a stop to it. It is now brought back into HMRC. What a waste of money.

These are just a few recently emerging scandals.

Regarding the high increase of taxes would that also balance out the reduction of the Corporation tax?

In my opinion, and I sure many people would agree, austerity is not working because the more the Government is reducing the income of people the less they will spend. It already shows, supermarket reducing staff and reducing their outlets. As for smaller shops, they had been closed a long time and it shows in the High Street with rows of boarded-up shops. It also tells on manufacturing which have reduced orders and lay off staff which increases unemployment.

The government announcement of unemployment reduction is unbelievable and the data shows that they create figures of various groups to make-belief unemployment is dropping.

In April there will be George Osborne’s famous £12billion Welfare cuts come into effect and disabled people will lose £30 per week down to £73. It is an awful lot of money when you are already down and rely on Food Banks.

Of course, Mr Osborne would not have the slightest idea what it means. He burned a £50 note in front of a homeless man which tells it all what character he is.

Now it looks like the Tory Government uses its full power to destroy the NHS and Welfare which are already on its knees. Just to privatise it and increase the private insurance’s pockets, including the shareholders. I will be the same situation as in America that people cannot afford the insurance fees and will not be treated.

All the other privatisation and contractors proved that they are only after the profit and give the worst service but the Tory Government will carry on until everything is in ruins as long their pockets are filled.

They know that the Labour Party would kick them out but forestalled it. They causing all the disarray by having quite a number Labour MPs under their influence. It seems that more and more Labour MPs dropping their mask and show their real face.

Why don’t they move to the Tories and help them to destroy the UK and its people. At least they would be honest and not such hypocrites.

It is also said the UKIP are nothing but Tories therefore it goes for them as well.

POOR PM MAY PRESSURED TO CUT OAP TV LICENCE

T May pressured or not but held out but PM Johnson done the evil dead. Well done Tories. Its the only thing housebound OAP and disabled people had to enjoy.

Do PM May and her Tories really think we belief she is pressured into cutting free TV licence for over 75 Old Age Pensioners (OAP)? What a twister!!!

It was already mentioned when the worst Chancellor George Osborne and his great friend David Cameron were in power. It was also said they will cancel the free bus pass for pensioners. Most probably PM May will be pressured into it next. 

This whole Government stinks, to deprive old age pensioners the last few privileges they have. Most or many are housebound or have not got the money since the Welfare cuts and it is their only entertainment or amusement they have. A generation who fought and sacrifices everything to save this country to be treated like that while those fatcats in the Government get their TV licence free anyway because the very taxpayers foot the bill of their expenses.

It stinks to high heaven the way they treat the people.

We read how ruthless Margaret Thatcher was by revelation of the released files; but she is still reigning on make no mistake.

Not only did she purposely set up the Falkland war by recalling the HMS Endurance which was guarding the Falklands just to win a war and her next election. She did not bat an eyelid that it cost over 800 Argentinians  and British soldiers lives plus many were maimed for live.

There she stood, in front of 10 Downing Street, looking and feeling victoriously. Not a thought given to the families who lost a loved one.

Now we learnt about the secret and ruthless plans of Margaret Thatcher to dismantle the NHS and the Welfare State. There was an uproar and she shelved but never forgot it. No wonder her glory  boy David Cameron worked hard on it to fulfil her dreams. Now it is PM May turn to finalise it and she will if she is not voted out soon.

If all these evidences are not an eye opener of what the Tories really are, nothing will.

They are a scandal beyond any human understanding.

WESTMINSTER HIGH SPENDING ON LIMOUSINE CARS BUT CUTS CHILDREN CARE

PHILIP HAMMOND

THE NEW

CHANCELLOR

NO AUSTERITY OR CUTS HERE !!!!!

Westminster council came under fire because it spent£ 90,000 on Rolls Royce Silver Seraph last year. A further £30,000 was spent on leasing Audi ASL plus a £11,500 for running the cars.

These luxurious cars, chauffeur driven, cost the council thousands of pounds a year for fuel, congestion charges, insurance and repairs  The cars are available to the Lord Mayor and five Aldermen for hundreds of engagements.

The council also spends thousands of pounds on private Health Care for Senior Staff. This particular privilege should be cut because they have a high enough salary to afford it and if not they have to join the NHS .

At the same time the staffs that look after hundred of children at schools and community centre are planned to lose their jobs to save £152,000 in year 2015/16 and £170,000 next year 2016/17.

The Westminster council will cut a £1.3million overall and also cut the subsidies for working parents for children care.

It will have a great effect on staff that loses their jobs and working parents because the mother will not be able to work having to look after the children.

Again it will have a domino effect. There will be more people unemployed and the less spending money will reflect on Supermarkets, clothing and holidays. Supermarket are already under great pressure caused by austerity and so are the manufacturers having to cut back staff because of the reduce demands.

Can’t the Government see and accept that their politics has a spiral down effect? Despite of it all Chancellor George Osborne already announce that there will be further cuts in the budget March 2016.

David Cameron's mother should campaign for the whole UK to stop cuts and not just for her precious Oxfordshire.

TORIES CUT £235MILLION FLOOD DEFENCE BUDGET

To be sure not one river was dredged so far and we are in the middle of September.

Prime Minister David Cameron would not have to play the sympathiser every winter and visit the flooded area if he had not cut £235million off the defence scheme.

With all due respect but it is nothing but a pretend of sympathy and again another promise to increase the budget.  He played now that game for the last four winters.

He even denied that the flood defence scheme budget was cut by £235million since 2011.

Again he had the nerve to look at the people who lost all their goods and their homes will be wet for months to come and tell them that he will increase the flood defence budget by £280million while at the same time he cut the budget

How can he do this without padding an eyelid? Make no mistake it will the same next winter and the winter after.  He has done it too often to be still believed. Beside all the previous winters where he visited, show "great sympathy" and proposed a great increase and now it is revealed that all this time he cut the budget.

Now the weather forecast is even worse as a cycle of storm and torrential rain will move across the UK. It is incredible how people will cope in the already flooded areas.

The only good dead Mr Cameron done is to deploy the army of 500 men and 1,000 are on standby.

Of course, Mr Cameron denied the North and South division and the 20 percent flood defence cut.

He said: “In Yorkshire we spent £100million on flood defences since I became Prime |Minister. We plan to spend an extra £280million.” So why does he cut "235million of the budget?

Mr Cameron visited York which is completely flooded by three feet of water from two rivers. So far the costs are estimate to £1,5billion. When you compare it with the great saving of £235million from his cuts it shows the worst arithmetic the Tories have done. Finally the costs of this flood will be doubled and trebled if not more.

FINANCIAL CUTS Updated 2 Nov., 2019

New Chancellor
Philip Hammond

Update 2 Nov., 2019 - PM May resigned in June 2019 and Boris Johnson was chosen by his Tory Party, not the Public - Philip Hammond resigned and Sajid Javid is now the new Chancellor since July.

Johnson tried to get his Brexit deal approve by Parliament but couldn't because he put an Irish Border at the Irish Sea which is unacceptable. He then  announced a General Election on 12 December, 2019. Brexit was postponed till 31 January, 2020. 

There was no new Budget due at the end of September, 2019 and no report of Economic data. The quarterly report before showed a Deficit and it is assumed that the Economy has not improved. Therefore, the reason for not publishing the Economy Report, most probably, was the coming GE.                                           

UPDATED   24 Nov., 2016  --
Yesterday's new Chancellor Philip Hammond's budget was beyond belief. Osborne must have been in it Cut Corporation Tax to 17 pc; only freezing petrol tax not reducing since the crude oil is half the price; no big deal to increase living wages from £7.30 to £7.50; no increase in NHS, Welfare, Disability funding or cancel the Bedroom Tax or cancelling the £12bn Welfare Cuts or Austerity.

NO INCREASE WHERE THE BUDGET SHOULD HAVE!!! It would have given people a right to live and they could spend which would have increased manufacturing = economic.

Announcing at the same time there will be no Budget in Spring.

UPDATED £12billion Welfare Cuts off the back of the poor and vulnerable but money for bombing Syria. Each mission costs £500million.

SUGGESTING TO SAVE MONEY

Start with the Parliament which is bloated beyond belief. There are 650 MPs and 820 in the House of Lords. According to the statistics only China has a bigger number in their government.

China has a population of 1.360 trillion

UK has a population of 64 million

The reason for the rise of Members of Parliament (MPs) is that the Tory Government keeps splitting the Tory’s constituency to get another candidate into Parliament and with that another vote aiming for a guaranteed majority

Each MP costs at least £70,000 a year plus high expenses = £45,500,000 salaries alone plus expenses from 650 MPs

78 per cent of the MPs are millionaires

It costs the taxpayers £4million a year just for drinks

The Ladies and Lords receive £300 per day if they attend the House of Lords plus expenses. They do not have to do anything or contribute on discussions.

A small number of Lords do not attend the House of Lords at all.

Let us say out of the 820 Ladies and Lords about 750 do attend and £300 per day. = £225,000 plus expenses.  The Parliament only sits 150 days a year, thank goodness, and the total minimum sum is £33,750,000 per year plus expenses.

These are only the salaries and expenses are unknown. The catering was stated with £4million; then the upkeep of wardrobes and building which is not known.

The House of Lords are so arrogant that they refused to share the catering with the House of Common to save.  Chancellor George Osborne forces all the cuts onto the general public yet he does not force them to use the same catering. There could be at least a million of two pounds to be saved.

In view of the above mentioned figures of population and government it should be cut in half and the House of Lords down to 300. Now this would bring hundreds of million pound into the Treasury and it would not even hit the poor. The MPs are all millionaires or even billionaires and each of them have a great number of other jobs. No starvation there and the debts would come down.

For all these high expenses paid by the taxpayers all we get is cut the Welfare, cut the pensioners, cut the councils’ service. Now the Chancellor is jubilant to have an agreement of 30 percent cuts of transport, council service and environment (Parks etc). Again all impacts on the public.

It is time for Mr Cameron to honour his pledge and bring the Tax dodgers to pay their proper amount. They rather pay a group of accountants to find all the loopholes instead to pay taxes.

It would also be more beneficial than cutting the Welfare if Mr Osborne increases the corporation taxes.

More savings could be made at the Department of Defence with cancelling the updating of the Trident = £167billion.

The nuclear Trident can never be used and therefore it is the biggest waste of money

Another ‘White Elephant’ is the luxurious HS2 train, which so far, cost £70billion and keeps rising rapidly. The ticket would be so expensive therefore only rich people can used it and then they write it off on taxes which would be taxpayers footing the bill.

There is also another chance to bring spending down if the Government would cut Foreign Aid. Most of the countries are goes to it ends up in the pocket of the government. The poor for whom it is intended never see it. This goes on since the 1950s and if it would have reached the poor they would live, by now in luxury.

EU’s membership cost £19billion a year then there is the fund for bail-out, even the fund for countries which are too poor to pay the entry fee and all to be added on top of it. All the UK gets out of it is restriction in fishing rights, red tape for business and interference in the UK Law.

For goodness sake get some sense.

CAMERON ABANDONED ANOTHER PROMISE

In his election manifesto he promised to be tough on crime. Looking back it makes it obvious that he never met one of his promises. UK and especially the major cities are swamped by crime and the police had a hard job before to keep it down. Therefore the Conservatives gave this promise to get voters on their site because people were fed-up being attacked on the streets and in their houses.

Yes, the Conservatives won the election, only by a minority and built a coalition with the Liberal Democrats.

The moment they were in power they abandon most if not all of their promises including the one being tough on crimes. Furthermore, they cut the police force right down in sacking 16,000 police officers at a time when the streets were riddle with crimes. Especially the elderly and disabled people were not safe because they couldn’t fight back.

Now the Home Secretary Theresa May announced that she will half the sums for crime prevention.  London will cut from £57million to £23million in 2013/14.  Wales from £3.1million to £1.2million.

This will affect the CCTV which is the greatest help to catch criminals, youth project, street lighting and gang prevention work.

No wonder Theresa May is the favourite of David Cameron in spite of her many mess-ups and frequent calls for her to be forced out or her willingly resign from her post.

These further cuts will also show in losing thousands of staff and especially 6,500 frontline officers.

All these reduction will provoke more crime and it will backfire in having more criminals locked up in what they claim in overfilled prisons. This also will result into more cost of keeping these criminals which in the long run does not justify the means of cutting down the police force as well as on crime prevention. When you cut down the impact has also to be looked at. This apparently is not the case made by the government and therefore it will have a chaotic impact on the public.

Next month there will be an election of 41 police and crime prevention commissioners. They are not given an idea what the budget will be and only after 15 November they will have to face the budget they have to work with.  The new commissioners will be in charge of chief constables and take over crime prevention budgets. This is not democracy as it should be. In a democracy all the facts are on the table and the candidates are able to discuss the situation with voters.

Apparently the cities which were worst hit by last year riots have to face the biggest cut. Birmingham will be cut from £1.5million to £620,000, Manchester from £1million to £415,000 and Leeds from £1.1million to £478,000.

CUTTING ALL THE BENEFITS AND SECURITY BY CUTTING DOWN THE POLICE AND THEIR FUNDING MAKES YOU WONDER IF THEY FIND ANYTHING ELSE TO THROW AT THE PUBLIC.  THEY FORGOT THAT IS IT THE PUBLIC WHO VOTED THEM IN AND NOW THEY ARE KICKING THE PUBLIC IN THE TEETH NON-STOP.

GAS PERKS REFUSED AND ELECTRICITY PRICE INCREASES

Update 15 August, 2020 -- 8 years on nothing has improved on the contrary its gone worst. After Cameron came May and now Johnson. By now 130,000 people, mostly OAP, have died of hyperthermia; 60,000 of CV19 because Johnson did not react and put necessary measures in straightaway; now we facing massive job losses, home evictions and recession. Johnson put the final nail into the coffin.

UPDATE 13 OCTOBER 2012  --  Npower will follow suits with 8.8 per cent and now the customers have no choice but pay and pay. This is nothing but racketeering. All big energy suppliers had bit profits last year and therefore there was no need for those massive increase.  Chancellor George Osborne made a big noise and show attacking the energy suppliers but other than that the government does nothing against them.  Also what is Ofgem getting paid for? They never do any

thing.

To crown it all it would be no surprise if the government cuts the winter fuel supplements now.

IS THAT WHAT DAVID CAMERON CALLS TO CREATE AN ASPIRATION NATION ?????

UPDATE 12 OCTOBER 2012 -- I only just stopped writing and there come the news of an increase of six or seven per cent in crease on gas.  Last year only it was increase by 10 per cent despite David Cameron had a meeting with the gas and electricity board promising he would make them hold the price. This government cannot cut wages, benefits and let the gas, electricity, food and petrol prices spiral sky high. How do they think people cope with and where they get the money from to pay for it all?

Next thing we read about the huge profits they made and bonuses they paid to their fat cats. 

British Gas gives staff a £200 perk on their bill. The whole top management has decided to turn down the perk and hope their top rivals will do the same. Although it wont’ be missed with an income of £1.3million a year for the chief executive Mr Sam Laidlow, his finance chief Nick Luff and British Gas managing director Phil Bently, their salaries are unknown but surely not far behind.

They feel like it is not necessary to receive this perk at the time of austerity. Although it is a drop in the ocean for the Centrica’s board but nevertheless a nice gesture. The rest of staff is still receiving their perk. The insiders pointing out it would still give the wrong impression.

Southern Electricity on the other hand will increase their prices from 15 October 2012 by 10 per cent. Furthermore, Ian Marchant refused to give up his staff discount in spite of receiving a salary of £1.2million last year. His bill will be cut by 12 per cent in spite of his huge salary; the customers will have to face another huge electricity price rise.

Mr Marchant commented that he thinks to donate his perk back to the company wouldn’t be very sensible.

Npower gives the staff £100 vouchers but wouldn’t comment whether the board members would take it this year.

E.ON stated that their chief executive Tony Cocker does not take the staff reward.

Scottish Power does not give their staff a discount scheme.

EDF Energy gives their staff £48 off their bills but couldn’t say if their chief executive took it.

Admirable as the refusal of the perks is but it is only a small contribution towards the company. The real impact is the bonuses for the top management and some of the staff which really adds on. Surely with around one million of pound a year salary it would be well paid for their work. There is no need for bonuses on top of it especially at hard times as they are at the moment. David Cameron always preaches austerity but he never whispers to cut the bonuses or stops them because most of them are his friends who donate to the Conservative Part which soon be rivalling with Fort Knox.

This austerity the ordinary people imposed by David Cameron and his Conservative Party is all wrong while the fat cats getting millions of salaries and bonuses. Again he does nothing to stop the increase of electricity. People already had problems to pay the bills and now a increase of 10 per cent will hit them hard and many will not be able to pay it. There is no need to aim for greater profits apart from the bosses get more bonus and the shareholders more dividends. 

REMEMBER CAMERON'S SPEECH AT PARTY CONFERENCE 2012 == Update 3 October 2014

UPDATE: 3 October, 2014 -- In spite of it all the previous promises by PM David Cameron about the NHS which is by now half privatised. To emphasized it more the PM David Cameron spoke of his disabled son Ivan who died. Why does he speak about his son Ivan he does not show he means it?  At his speech at the Conservative Conference in Birmingham he promised again to increase the budget of the NHS and will not privatise it. He and his great Chancellor George Osborne also promised further cuts in benefits.  Promises,  promises and nothing but contradictions apart from the promises of cuts.



UPDATE 15 OCTOBER 2012 --  There are at the moment 1,000 disabled people who died because of the Disability Benefits being taken away. Some might not be the cause altogether but it is still too high a number to justify David Cameron's actions.

Well, people know now what to expect even he wrapped it up all in a fine worded speech with all emotional points. Hopefully the public will not be blindfolded either by Boris Johnston given them all a cheerful time, he too has that same believes and outlook as David Cameron.

David Cameron spoke about his son and father, both being disabled.  Yes, it must have been distressing and nobody will deny that but having experienced it so closely why does he cuts cold bloodedly the disabled people's benefit. It does not add up. Especially they have it much harder then David Cameron's father, being a multi-millionaire; they have to battle with the money and every penny counts.

He spoke of the Paralympics how wonderful and inspiring these athletes were but coming from David Cameron it is hypocritical. No doubt the athletes were but how can anyone sit there watching their determination to overcome the disability and cut their Disability Benefits at the same time. He is hitting and hurting the poorest of the poor. Yet again, he emphasised it in his speech that there will be austerity and further cuts have to be made. Therefore, these words about his son and father ring hollow and he never applies austerity and cuts to himself and the rest of them.

He was willing to spend £206million (updated £1billion) on a contract with a French firm ATOS not even an English company to create jobs. To send disabled people back to work. 32 (updated over 1,000) people died because of it and with 3million unemployment where have disabled people got a chance to get employed. 

==================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
==================================================

He spent £330.000 on a contract with a company organising wake-up calls for youngster to get them out of bed and back to work. Again where are the jobs? The majority would not be at home lying in the bed if there were any jobs available. 

He spent hundreds of million of pounds on a management consultancy to sack nurses and doctors at the NHS. Yet, if necessary at all it should have been the directors’ job of the NHS; there again if he spend that money on the NHS there would be no need to sack nurses and doctors.

There is a whole string of mismanagement were all of a sudden the money was there to be spend all the wrong way and that is were austerity should start.

Apparently David Cameron will still carry on with his original plan. The truth is that the ordinary people are already so cut down, there is no money to be cut. Already the food parcels are on a big increase which is a disgrace for a country and its people like Britain. . Unemployment is growing at an alarming rate.  After years in office the country has a 0.4 per cent deficit instead of yet another promise growth of 0.2 per cent but David Cameron talks of healing process. Where does this man gets it from? He still blames the Labour and yet the Gordon Brown handed the country over with a 1 per cent credit which vanished within two months.

He was talking about sink or swim. Well it is the ordinary people who sink and David Cameron and the Conservatives do the swimming. The party faithful gave him a standing ovation because they swim with him. This party keeps splitting the public into two sections and with a great gulf between it. Therefore, his famous phrase ‘we are all in this together’ he would not know what hit him if he had to cope with what he hands out to people.

The promise of a referendum after the next election is nothing but a promise again to catch votes. If he would mean it he would have done it all this time or at least now. He already promised it in the last election manifesto and when it came to it dropped it.

ENERGY CIVIL SERVANTS BONUS 2012

Ever since this Coalition came to power there is nothing but increase of food, VAT, council tax, petrol, gas and electricity bills but they straight away the reduced the minimum wage which companies were delighted to follow, on the basis take or leave it. It is definitely not improving the economy as it shows the third recession this year. What are they trying to head for?

Another dirty trick, the government sits calmly back and let it happen.  Also another typical case of them and us. The high ranking energy civil servants are getting a bonus of £1m.

There was also an increase of their bonuses from £825,648 in 2010 and to £958,783 in 2011.

No matter how the public is complaining including some ministers the government will just not do anything about it. The whole idea of having a government is to control it all this. They have enough departments which supposed to be responsible to stop any overcharges and price rises but none ever do anything effective.

David Cameron made a great issue of a meeting with all the energy suppliers last year to force them to bring the prices down.Not only nothing happened afterwards but as a matter of fact the prices went up.

Now we even find out that the top energy civil servants are getting a bonus. First of all they don’t deserve any bonus because they just doing their job and they receive a salary. Secondly it is again only the top energy civil service, we were advised, and the lower ranking or office workers do not. W H Y?

The country is now in the third term of the recession and the ordinary families are more than struggling, especially with the sky high gas and electricity bills. Furthermore, it was already promised that there will be more rises in energy’s bills. The households have already been hit by an average of £200 increase.

Furthermore, the government is planning to stop the winter fuel supplement for pensioners. A generation who fought like hell for this country to prevent Hitler invading.  They deserve everything now to lead a worry free life in their last few years but what do they get from this Coalition all the benefits taken away.

THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

Furthermore, the government thought of some more cuts but now they call it replacements which they try to hood-wing us hoping the public will not notice it.

The £1.1billion grant scheme will be replaced with a £540million towards cutting bills. They really must be thinking the public is stupid but it only shows their arrogant attitude.  Ministers even had the audacity stating the Energy Company Obligation is more an efficient way to help the poor. Well even the biggest bucket of white paint will not white wash this.

IT  IS  ANOTHER  CUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COUNCIL TAX BENEFIT CUTS 2012

It is said they are planning to cut the council tax benefits. This would hit around six million households with low-income. These households either have qualified for no paying or reduced paying council tax.  It will hit the poorest or poor,

The infamous Coalition demanded from the councils to reduce the benefit bills by 10 per cent. This will have to be found either be reducing their service or payouts to poor families.

The chief of the Institute of Fiscal Studies, Paul Johnson, thought it could be done by either taking 10 per cent off the council tax benefit which causes more hardship but it will even cause more problems for families who receive a 100 per cent council tax benefit.

Labour peer Baroness Hollis called it completely unfair.

The Tory MP Bob Neil on the other hand thought it would give the councils a chance to get people back to work.

Which planet does Mr Neil live on?  Apparently he has no idea what it means to live on a low income and therefore shouldn’t put out remarks like that. Furthermore, has he ever look out of his Parliamentary window and noticed there are no jobs available. There is unemployment of 2.5million and they are not all scam and skivers as those sitting in the fat think. The people they are withdrawing any benefits from in order to so-called “get them back to work” is another smokescreen to cut. There has been cases in the paper and quite a number of it where people with all sorts of qualifications and experiences have written and tenth or hundreds of applications to avail.

SO WHERE DOES THE TORY MP BOB NEIL LIVE?

LIVING ON MINIMUM WAGES

Reducing wages and increased prices made workers coping with the lowest level of spending for nine years.

Although every politician blood pressure goes up when they hear about statistics and Unions’ statement but the politicians should learn that there is always some truth and facts in it.

The Office for National Statistics revealed that the average Britain has £3,640 left after taxes in the first three months of this year. According to their find it reduces down to the level last seen in 2003.

People definitely have cut back on their spending but the income was still reduced further. It is thought it is five times faster than the reduced spending .

Food prices when the Coalition came into power rose almost 50 per cent straight away and nothing was said and done. At the moment the food prices rise on a 3.1 per cent but this is not the point because rose already sky high.

The union Unite stated that three-quarter of people earn less than a year ago. Therefore People’s money runs out by 21^st of each month. It was found that 30 per cent of people cutting back on food to make ends meet.

NOW THIS IS SURELY UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER SPENDS BILLIONS OF POUNDS ON EU, AIDS AND WARS WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BRITAIN.

This is not meant as a vendetta against the Conservatives the Labour is not perfect but an awful lot better and  if they were would have been voted in the UK would not have to struggle like that. Anybody knows that cutting back do not work. As this report show above the family cut back on food and clothing which then backlashes on the retail market and show losses which they did in the last quarters. Shops close because trading dropped. The retail market then reflect on manufacturers. It is a never ending vicious circle. To repeat again cutting back does not work. It is even realised by other countries and they start slowly but definitely to pick up.

Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: “Ordinary men and women working two jobs to get by and they and their families are being hammered twice. Once for the bankers blowout and then again by cuts to services that sustain our communities.

“Over and over again this government is trampling all over the ordinary people and squashing their hope.  WE need to say an emphatic – NO. – this is not what we voted for.”

Unite is urging people to join the TUC march against the government cuts in London on October 20.

MP Chris Leslie, Labour’s Shadow Treasury minister said: “Millionaires will soon get a tax cut but millions on middle and low income are paying more because of the rise in VAT and cuts in tax credits.”

This last statement really shows the callousness of the Coalition. Mind you the Conservatives behaved just the same towards ordinary people when they were in power the last time. They destroyed most of the major industries which were the pride and envy of the world.

It was most surprising that they got in again even though they just scraped in. It was still surprising after all they done to the ordinary people previously. Hopefully the voters have learned this time their lesson.

RUTHLESS CUTS ON DISABILITY BENEFITS Update 31 March, 2017

Update 31 March, 2017
Although the Prime Minister  change, Cameron resigned and Theresa May took over, the planned Disability Benefit cut of £30 a week came in force on 1 April, 2017. It means disabled people now receive £73 a week instead of £103 a week. It will have a devastating impact and suicides, starvation, homelessness will be the result. How can she do this to already hard-up people? 

Update - It still goes on. Carers for the very disabled people the benefit payments were cut. 2015 benefits for disabled cars were withdrawn. Disabled people were sent to Paraolympic in Rio but at home their cars were withdrawn.

So far the new Tory Prime Minister Theresa May has not changed these Welfare cuts on contrary the pensions and their benefits will now be cut.

The latest is now to cut the benefit for the sick and disabled people. This is the worst this Government can do.

There was a leak that doctors were advised to find seven out of eight disabled benefits claimants and stop it.

The idea behind the plan of the Coalition is to force people back into work. The government seems to forget or overlook that there is already a great shortage of jobs otherwise there would not be 2.5million unemployed.

For sick and disabled people it is twice as hard to get a job and now during the recession it is impossible.

Now comes the biggest cockeyed idea ever seen coming from the Government. They had the nerve to pay a French firm Atos £100million A YEAR for the testing. If it wasn’t so diabolically it would look like a joke.

If that doesn't stink to high heaven nothing will. To cut the benefit for disabled people and spend £100million not only an English company which might give more jobs but on a French company. Again David Cameron gives away money which would benefit the people.

Dr Big stated that he was told only one in eight should be so disabled that it is be recognized the person will never work again. When the Depart of Works and Pension was confronted with this statement they denied it and so did Atos.

Work minister Chris Grayling told the MPs that there is no target for decision makers.

Labour MP Tom Greatrex said on Thursday: “The Government had been caught red-handed.” He called for a National Audit Office investigation.

UK GOVERNMENT CUTS PENSIONERS' PRIVILEGES

This is now the last and lowest trick planned by any government. David Cameron, Nick Clegg and George Osborne plan to stop the free bus pass for Pensioners. Cutting down on the winter heating supplement which helps hard-up pensioners not to freeze to death which was the case before. Not to speak of the already so-called Granny tax which George Osborne introduced in his last Budget.

All this is really disgraceful to go so far and cut the very few little extras pensioners have.

From a start, if he stops the free bus pass does he not realize that all there will be pensioners not using the transport. Therefore he will not have any extra money or not that much because a pensioner cannot pay £2.20 one way fare and with coming back it will be £4.40. This is if you can go straight. If you have to change buses it will cost your twice as much. Now no pensioner can afford that and they only end up sitting at home. The other point is that these free bus passes are only used during the day when busses are practically empty.

Now the next point of cutting down or completely stopping is the winter fuel supplement. This will increase the risk of old people dying of cold and it was the reason for introducing the winter fuel supplement. Of course, our glorious top three they will not know what hardship is. All their life they lived off the fat of the land.

Let me point out something to these great 'gentlemen' who make one mess after another. Today’s generation of pensioners have fought for this country and endured great hardship because of the rationing. They should be getting all the comfort in their old ages because if they don’t deserve who will? They should be treated with the greatest respect because if they didn’t do what they done for Britain these three great 'gentlemen' wouldn’t be where they are. So how dare they treat pensioners like that? Knowing very well that they can't fight back with strikes and therefore have to take what is handed out to them.

At one stage not so long ago it was mentioned to tax bonuses which those fat cats undeservedly get. The suggestion didn’t last five minute and it was wiped off their plan. If they had gone through with there would have received some real billions of money. However, it would have cut their friends even so they wouldn’t even miss it. So why not go back to this point Mr Cameron, Mr Clegg and Mr Osborne. No, instead Mr Osborne even reduced the level of taxes to top earners. It was reduced from 50p, which Mr Brown introduced, to 45p and Mr Osborne made straightaway a promise to reduce it to 40p.

THIS  IS  THE  KIND  OF  GOVERNMENT  WHICH  SHOUTS

ABOUT  AUSTERITY  TO   BRING  DOWN  THE 

DEFICIT  BUT  WON'T  CUT  WHERE  IT  SHOULD  BE.
